I'd rather not send folks through Speed to watch the video, but you're right I didn't see that one before posting mine. We just got the link from the GoPro folks, so I thought I must be first...

I've seen Formula 1 in person, but nothing looks faster than a top level rally car on dirt when it's just a few feet away..

Dear Colorado DOT - it's called guardrail. berkeley that's scary to watch nothing but a 45* dropoff and sky flying by at triple digits.

QFT. My folks drove up and down it last summer. Took them 90 minutes each way from the beginning gate. Something like 26 miles and they said it was SAF.

Yeah. It's like we're all excited to enter until seeing the video. Maybe that's what keeps the field size in check.
